Yellowtrace Spotlight // April 2020.

Hey guys! Hope everyone is keeping well, safe and connected as we enter week 7 (or is it week 6? or 8?) of life in iso. Alas, we’re here, as always, to show you a good time and welcome you to the April 2020 edition of Yellowtrace Spotlight.

This month is seriously jampacked with design goodness, like super interesting, conceptually driven products by Atelier Aveus and Masquespacio who were respectively inspired by Hitchcock movies and the often-overlooked potential of ceramic tiles. Closer to home, we unveil an exciting rebrand and new products by Canberra-based studio SKEEHAN, Ross Gardam‘s most comprehensive lighting collection to date, Tom Adair’s solo art exhibition that responds to the current global COVID-19 crisis by opening virtually this week, plus so much more. Better get your skates on!
